It's difficult for me to think of a more badass woman than Sigourney Weaver as Ripley -- all the men follow her naturally because she's an incredible leader. "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit... it's the only way to be sure." youtube.com/watch?v=B9aM4rH692M

We're getting close to the end of #MODtober 🙁 so before we run out of time, we'd better get this up into the Mix. A demo soundtrack so large it wouldn't fit in memory all at once.

The bitslip protection data — besides being a specially designed sequence of 1s and 0s — is also a valid nibble sequence within a normal DOS 3.3-style sector. So if you fast-copy (sector copy) the entire disk, it will give zero errors (but the specially designed sequence is gone). If you boot the copy, it will look like it works... until you actually start a bit copy operation, at which point it will crash as an intentional delayed effect of the protection failure.

Wanted to have some fun with my Playstation Mouse last night, put in Final Doom!
In this case you'd think the D-pad would be WASD, but actually left and right turn you (like the mouse does), and you have to hold the right mouse button down, and then left and right become strafe.

@SuperSelena64 Another game I can recommend with that mouse is Command & Conquer: Red Alert.

@jukkan Good tune, interesting lyrics.

I think the reason dark matter hasn't been found is because its particles are not part of our space-time continuum, if it were to be detected it is no longer dark matter. This is also how I think about superposition in quantum mechanics, in my mind it’s “noposition”. Until determined it remains dark matter.

"At this time, perceived wisdom is that the obvious stuff in the universe, stars, planets,
gas, clouds, and so on, are actually only 4% of its total content.
25% is so-called cold, dark matter.
The remaining 17% is even stranger.
It is known as dark energy, an axe to push the universe apart.
So, where do we come from?
Are we made of stars, or are we the children of darkness?"

@GossiTheDog the only explanation I have for that is that some of these cool-aid-gulping executives don't see a magic 10x increase in profit after paying ridiculous amounts of money on these things, and immediately assumes it's the employees fault because clearly they aren't using it enough.

Because the alternative would be that they made a bad call, and that cannot possibly be true.

Anti bloat IDEs. The good old days when you didn't need an internet connection, an API key/LLM subscription to write more bloat. People still built awesome games, apps, and solved real life scientific problems.
